Had my Mini for almost a month and I never really paid attention to this feature under Date & Time...

Announce the Time...it is nice to have a computer that will talk to me.

Check it out...!!! I'm using Vicki (System Voice/Default)

So like every hour it'll tell you the time or do you have to click it?

I need to buy another mac, been kind of busy though.

It announces the time on the hour, on the half hour, or on the quater hour, depends on what you choose.

One of these days they'll find a way to sort out the voice inflections so that computers sound more natural.
